Error Log and GMAT Score Predictor

Hi Vakru,

Many Test Takers become too fixated on the 'implied level' of the questions that they're working on - instead of what really matters: defining WHY they're getting questions wrong and becoming more efficient at approaching the overall Exam. It's also worth noting that just because a 3rd party describes a question as "700 level" does not necessarily make it so.
There's really only one way to properly assess your skills (and how you might Score on the Official GMAT): take a FULL-LENGTH CAT and do so in a realistic fashion (take the FULL CAT - with the Essay and IR sections, take it away from your home, at the same time of day as when you'll take the Official GMAT, etc.).

About 1.5 months ago, you posted that you had scored 580 on your initial practice CAT and that your Score Goal was 700+. You have not provided much information about how you've been studying since then though, so before I can offer you any advice for your studies, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:

Studies:
1) What study materials have you used so far?
2) Have you taken any additional practice CATs/mocks? How have you scored on EACH of your CATs (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for EACH)?

Goals:
3) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
4) What Schools are you planning to apply to?

There are just too many unknowns there. As Scott pointed out, you should take a good practice test, preferably one of the official practice tests.

Yes I gave one, I got 580 Score, at that time my GMAT Score figure was 250 something.

I gave that test without much discipline, I was choosing an option in less than a minute, sometime in 30 Sec. But I realised that its about patience and avoiding silly errors.

I Completed few OGs and learnt topics where I fund myself weak like Prob, Coordinate geo, etc. and improved the method of attempting the question.

I have taken only one CAT, Q-48 V-23 that was 580, I will be attempting one in this week.

Am looking for PhD program in Management(Finance) for Aug 2020 batch.

Hi Vakru,

The PhD application process tends to be a bit more 'rigorous' than the MBA application process is - since there tends to be a small group of highly qualified applicants competing for a relatively small number of PhD 'slots.' As such, beyond having a strong GMAT Score, you'll need a strong OVERALL profile and you'll need to properly 'market yourself' to each individual Program that you apply to. By extension, you would likely find it beneficial to speak with an Admissions Expert about your overall profile. There's a Forum full of those Experts here:

Once you have taken your next CAT, you should post back here with the results (you can also feel free to PM me directly).

1) What are the exact application deadlines for the PhD Programs that you plan to apply to?
2) Going forward, how many hours do you think you can consistently study each week?

Hi Mck2023,

Can you go into more detail about the GMAT Test/Quiz you took. What product was it, when did you take it and did you finish the entire Test/Quiz?

Hi EMPOWERgmatRichC
Its aboutGMAT Club daily practice score estimate.

Hi Mck2023,

Since you're asking about the GMATClub Tests, it would make sense to reach out to a GMATClub employee to address this issue (maybe bb or Bunuel, for example).
